Does It Matter At All ? !!

The statement is all encompassing.......it seems to be the general attitude of most of us. I was intending to write a lot when I sat down..but my anger seems to have dipped......agitation due the issues around me, what I see, feel, hear and sense...everything seems to be affecting me more than it should. My doctor explained a few things to me when I was diagnosed as being having a sluggish thyroid gland...I was not sure what went wrong....among all the factors which lead to thyroid, i seemed to have one dominantly...STRESS...as such stress in my case is mainly due to my nature...I am quite submissively aggressive. My doctor says ..it is those kind of people who do not express their anger when needed but ruin their mental and emotional balance. I have been trying to grown up as a person, particularly on these lines...and haven't yet reached where I need to be.

I can loose my emotional balance by just going to the super market. Just one thing, my fight against phasing out use of plastic shopping bags, has made me a matter of ridicule...at times I wonder if i was overreacting to the whole issue...but then i get back into form to resume my fight. i seriously feel like a failure as I know that this is a clearly existing issue but i am not able to do my bit to the environment..that is beyond what i do as an individual....the greater part f the populations i refusing to wake up to the whole thing..i wish god gave me strength to tackle the whole list of thing I feel so strongly about.....to just sum it up..i feel it would the worst punishment to the future generation.. to have such n irresponsible parent generation.....I am too tired to say anything....just praying that I could be more channeled and work towards being a better follower of everything to save my planet....and more so a crusader spreading awareness and making some difference :(...this is just a small part of what is going wrong with our planet.....will we ever wake up?

How GREEN can we be?

I have been on a constant quest to find a sane answer to this question. Since high school, I have been trying to think of ways and means to reduce my carbon footprint. It took me some time to realize I could not "change the world" all by myself. I continue to keep a check on what I buy, what I do and how I could work on making my activities more greener.I have grown to be more tolerant with the non green earth inhabitants around me...however, like any true blood revolutionary, I do continue to crusade!..lol

As they say, to each his own. As of today and right now, I am still not sure as to how I could contribute to the greater good. I make sure I pick up ideas on my way from everyone around me. Ans surely feel that may be I dont have much to contribute....why else would it be that I am unable to make a significant change....Days pass by and my doubts remain....

i see around me and a few like minded crusaders keep me afloat....i was very happy to read this
WAR AGAINST plastic
but the proportions to which this has blown, current levels of awareness and efforts by a select few is not enough......

SUD-CONOMICS!!....Intro

Can one describe how it is to be challenged?...Either emotionally, mentally or physically?...I am not sure. It is a dreadful state!...Time and again, I have seen myself swinging between having a tiny ounce of confidence and loads of lack of it! ...leaving my deep rooted thoughts at that!

Each one has a specific definition for success and failure. Parameters differ and so do perspectives of those parameters. Human quest for finding some meaning for each breathe inhaled /exhaled has been eternal. I am not the only one doing it; nor am I the only one trying to convince myself of sanity in such a quest.

Success to me is not failing as a human. This may sound too melodramatic, but yes; Thats the way it is. If I am able to go to bed at peace with myself, having done at least one thing right for the day means a lot. Moving onto somethings more important in life!

I would describe myself as an aggressive Earth friendly individual. I am an ardent and a staunch believer in the fact that we have borrowed this planet from our future generations. Every act of ours, both right and wrong has a major impact on our future and the future of our children. Hoard to accumulate "wealth", is taking us nowhere. There seems to be no limit on our targets (to save money, accumulate property, invest in savings?)....I get to hear mind boggling numbers from a cross section of people. Each one's economic background, access to means for wealth accumulation, exposure to ways and means to spend those earning, and the list goes on.

I always think about Maslow's hierarchy when I think about the Mad rush this world is into to hoard up "stuff" for the future. (I recommend - reference to :WIKIPEDIA ; love wiki for this! :D).. more insight into why i say that!


It is not possible for the current generation to stop and think about Economics when it is seemingly a time to "save for our children". Though not new, I would like to present an interesting angle to this fundamental belief of our human race.

Every body would have heard about terms such as " cost of living", interest rates, returns on investment etc. But if we actually understood them as they apply to regular life...is a question better left unanswered. I intend to write more on sudconomics soon!
